Yep, I must confess I keep jumping between both sides of the fence about 
the whole JIT vs AOT compilation, depending on the use case and
deployment scenario.

For example, as language geek it was quite interesting to discover how
OS/400 has a kernel JIT with a bytecode based userspace. Or that there
were Native Oberon ports that used JIT on module load for the whole OS,
instead of AOT. Only the boot loader, some critical drivers and the 
kernel module were AOT.
